Hi Gregorius! I think Clojure is a great way to start to learn to program! Clojure is a flavour of lisp and so is Scheme - which has been used for decades to teach programming to MIT undergrads.
In terms of resources on learning functional programming I think The Little Lisper is a terrific book: http://www.amazon.com/Little-Schemer-Daniel-P-Friedman/dp/0262560992 And if yearn for more advanced things later on, SICP - the actual text book used at MIT - can be found for free online here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Both books use scheme but I believe you should be able translate the examples to Clojure without too much effort. just my 2c. Best of luck!
